I’m pretty sure that this is the way forward 18:9 aspect ratio but I least expect Homtom to embrace it so quickly. Who knows maybe the next upcoming smartphone from our local oem's will come with 18:9 ? By the way, Homtom S16 is the most affordable 5.5″ 18:9 full edge-less display smartphone right now and it is coming soon!

Looking at the spec sheet, Homtom S16 comes with a 5.5 inch full screen edge-less display with 18:9 aspect ratio, slender and slimmer, dual rear camera set up of 13MP+2MP and 8MP selfie camera.

It comes preloaded with Android 7.0 nougat out of the box with 2GB of ram and 16GB of internal memory housed by 3000mAh battery capacity.

I'm presently using the phone....

Camera is good

Battery lasts long

Screen resolution is superb

I'm not a gamer so I'm sorry can't review that....

Recently did an OTA upgrade.....

Came with two thin film screen protectors (to prevent scratching, buy a glass screen guard to protect from cracks) and a rubber transparent case....

Cons: tends to heat up when hotspot is on, sometimes when charging too....

Summary: if you want to buy a modest, presentable android phone without breaking the bank, then go for it.... But please take care of it very well as I didn't do a drop test on it tho...

Thanks for the review, I'm interested in buying this. How was the camera although you said it was good but how good in low light condition please?

Another con: the front camera doesn't have a flash, so selfies won't be too clear unless you are in a bright room

The back camera flash is bright tho.....

It's actually a good buy for the price, bought mine from Jumia 2mths ago for 21,400 (total package)

Thank you very much for the brief review, please can you upload snapshots of the phone, ui and camera pictures?
I recently bought 2 of this device from jumia and I am surprised no one is talking about the phone.
And are you saying the screen isn't scratch resistant?
